4 HELENA dispatch to the Inter Noun
tain states that a special train service
about to be placed on the Northern Pacific
will shorten the time between Helena and
st. Paul by nineteen hours, and the train
will only stop at the principal points in
Montana, stated to be Garrison, Helena,
Miles City and Glendale. The last proba-
bly, mean Glendive. The Northern Pacific
men here have no notice of this, and be.
lieve the dispatch ia premature as it is
obviously detective. To stop at the prin-
cipal places in Montana, Missoula, Boze-
man, Livingston and Billings, all OF which
are larger than Glendlve, could not be
ignored. 1t is pretty certain that u fast
train will be put on very soon, and it is
the time from Helena to ST. Paul by nine
teen hours. The Manitoba people have
announced their intention OF making the
run on their road from Helena to
st. Paul in twelve hours less thar
would DO possible on the Northern Pacific.
The present run between Helena and St..
Paul occupies about fiftv-one hours. II
the proposed reduction is made, it will be
only t~hirty-two hours, q triae more than
thIrty-six. miles per hour, iacludins stops.
Ii the Manitoba cuts twelve hours ON this.
it's run OF 1,175 miles will. occupy but
twenty bou,s, at the unparalleled rate OF
hfty-nine miles per hour, including stops.
To accomplish this the Manitoba will have
to adopt track tanks and other tirne-sav-
the Northern Pacific will cut its present
time more than twelve hours, or that the
Manitoba will cut much more. II it does.
the safety Of the people will demand legis.
lation putting on @ drag.

THAT tho dynamite bombs found in
Lipgs's cell on Sunday had only q OBJ
iect in view, the Anarchists destruction in
the midst of as much havoc as they could
create. is the only conclusion that can be
formed. 1t shows that the Anarch-
lists are as utterly unregenerate as on the
night Of the Haymarket riot. There is no
proof that the Others besides Lingg had
knowledge OF their presence, but there can
be no doubt that the bomb-maker would
have prevailed upon them to end their
career by Que grand explosion that would
immortalize them in preference to an inglo-
rious death on the scaffold. It il no won
der, in view of the discovery, that many
who signed petitions for clemsncy re-
GREETED having done 80, and would
willingly recall their act. All
ideas Of clemency will be dis
sipated now, and it is scarcely probable
that even the condemned mems friends
viii have the temerity to present their Pc
%titions, or that they can have any hope OF
success if they do.

Death of John f. Heating.

F. Keating, Of Helena, which occurred in
that city yesterday morning. was an awful
surprise to his many friends III Butte.
Only q few days ago he was here in the en-.
joymelt OF that health which his splendid
physique justified all who knew him would
continue to II ripe old age. Insidious pneu.
monia, however, attacked him and the
iron constitution was compelled to sue
cum5. Nj. Heating was q gentleman in all
that the term implies. In his business and
social relations he was a model OF integrity
and good hunlor, and consequently his un.
looked for death must cause q feeling Of
sadness to pervade the heart Of all who
new him. The details of his illness arc
not at hand, bat it must ha We been short,
and it is to be hoped attended with as
little pain as can accompany tie final dis
solution. He leaves d wife and small
famils, to whom his hosts OF friends in
Helena viii extend a sincere sympathy in
which they will be joined by those in Butte.

THE SILVER OUTLOOK.

The continued depression in silver in face
OF the strong upward turn of the copper
market is notable. Both form the volume
OF currency Of India, and now that copper
has advanced SO ~proaounced!y, it is not
too violent e. supposition that the demand
for silver may improve and strengthen the
tone OF that market. But the depression
oil silver in this country will continue with
out abatement until national legislation
places it upon the firm footing, which, ii
our legislators we're patriotic, it should OBJ
tain as one OF the leading mineral products
OF this country. So far from this legisla.
ton being anticipated. however, which the
people throughout the West demand as
their right. it is rather a%pprehended
that the monometalists of the country
will make a combined attack upon
silver and endeavor to give it the
coup de grace by stopping it's coinage. The
gold bugs OF Wall street can be relied upon
to omit no opportunity Of giving silver a
black eye, and the resolutions passed at
the Bankers convention last month may
give them the courag &c OF their convictions.
and open the way for hostile legislation to
silver at the next session OF Congress. In
view OF this. it behooves the friends o;
silver to concentrate their forces to resist
such q movement in tho haIia OF the
National Legislature. The Bi-metalIic
Association did excellent work two years
ago in inducing favorable legislation by
Congress towards silver, but the fact that
they are short Of funds cow
makes any concert Of action on tkeir part
imprecticabl BILE at present. This should
stimulate the friends OF silver to a concen-
trat;on OF their forces and to increasing
the number Of their adherents by every
means iu their power, At all events they
must not be caught mapping. President
CIeyeland's position il this matter can be
eafsly counted upon SIS neutral. He must
recognize the overwhelming sentiment OF
the West in favor OF silver currency and he
cannot afford, in view OF the near approach
OF another presidential campaign, to take
ground in favor oil @ gold standard, no
matter how much he may be under the in
Auence Of Manning and tie Wall street
clique. Such a move on his part would
injure him or any Presidential candidate in
the West.

The clerk introduced Two bids orfurnish,
ing meals to the prisoners. Mar-hal jolly
said that he had hem awarded the contract
for one year, on Mr. Jahreiss' motion. Mr..
Jalreies c~orroborated Mr.. Jolly's state
ment. The Marshal asked that the minutes
be corrected so as to show the contra.'t
being let to him. The Mayor and Mr..
Forbis both stated that they remembered
the contract being lei to Marshal Jolly.
The clerk said the matter had escaped him.
On motion the bids were laid on the
table and Marshal Jolly's contract at 25
cents per meal, continued.
Judge Hamilton presented a protest from
a number OF Main street business men
against any changei in the ordinance relating
to- cabs and express wagons standing On
that street. It was filed in case Of future
action.
A motion by Mr.'Jahreiss for construction
of crossings across Washington street on
Broadway and Granite, was defeated, aud
the matter referred to streets n sidewalks
committee.
The clerk was instructed to see that the
sidewalk on the east side Of Main street, DE-
tween Park and Galena streets, is raised to
grade.
The Mayor announced that Mir. Napton
had asked him to call the attention OF the
council to the fact hat he has been paid
only $3.50 for services to the city. in which
tie work has not been all done. No action
was taken in the matter.
The Mayor stated that the Gasnop
Company wished to be allowed to grade ND
Copper street near their mine, with their
waste. This also was referred to the Com.
mittee on Streets and Sidewalks.
The clerk submitted an ordinance he had
prepared in relation to licenses. The ordi-
nance being very lengthy and the hour late
it was decided to refer it to the Finance
Committee, and hold q special meeting
next Friday night to taxi action on it and
other Important business. The Committee
on Street Numbering being all out OF town,
the matter OF numbering streets did not
come up for consideration. The meeting
adjourned at 1O:45.

County Commissioners.

The Commissioners yesterday considered
the claims of the Utah & Northern and
Montana Union Railroads for rebate OF
taxes and the valuation on all their pro. :
erty in Silver Bow County was ordered re.
duced to $4,000 per mile. It was ordered
that q warrant for S545.6O be drawn in
favor of the Utah & Northern. and $64.35
in favor of the Montana Union for the ex-
cess of taxes that had been collected.
The contract for grading the road from
French Gulch to the upper bridge was
awarded to p. H. Dunn, of Melrose, for
$1,000, the road to be completed before
May 10, 1887, and to be nine feet wide
above high water.
There was some discussion about the two
bridges over the Big Hole, and it was pro-
posed by MIR. Schmidt that ten ers should
be advertised for, each party to send in
plans and specifications, and the plans &C.
cepted to be paid for. Action thereon was
reserved.
The Commissioners individual accounts
were passed and the Board adjourned,
